“The government considers the Syrian ambassador to Jordan persona non grata and demanded he leave the country within 24 hours. The decision comes after Suleiman’s repeated insults to Jordan and its leadership, institutions and citizens, through his meetings, writings and social media websites,” Petra quoted foreign ministry spokeswoman Sabah Rafi as saying.

Bahjat has allegedly violated diplomatic protocol based on his online postings that are explicitly critical of Jordan, according to the Kingdom's foreign ministry.
